Acquires Adjacent Gold-Antimony Property With 34.4% Antimony
MIRAMICHI, NB, Nov. 14, 2011 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (US-OTC: SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to announce a new gold discovery 12 km west of Xstrata's BMS No. 12 Mine and 10 km north of SLAM's wholly owned Nepisiguit deposit where the Company has 2 diamond drill rigs turning in northern New Brunswick. The gold discovery was uncovered by a recent trenching program on SLAM's wholly owned California property. A grab sample returned 15.3 g/t gold from a carbonate zone with quartz veining. This gold occurrence is open in all directions.
The Company acquired the adjacent Orlo gold-antimony property through an option agreement with prospectors Mert Stewart and Frank Ross. They reported a mineralized boulder occurrence on their Orlo property 500 m north of the new SLAM gold discovery. A grab sample from this boulder assayed 34.4% antimony and 4.220 g/t gold. The boulder is associated with a soil geochemical anomaly. Additional trenching is planned to test this soil anomaly as well as the extent of the new gold discovery.
The Option Agreement: SLAM can earn 100% interest in the Orlo property through payment of $100,000 cash and 300,000 common shares over a 3 year period. This includes a down-payment of $10,000 cash and 50,000 shares payable immediately. The vendors are to retain 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) with $1M buyback on 1% NSR. This option agreement and issuance of shares is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Prospectors: Mert Stewart is a famous prospector and a former recipient of the PDAC Prospector of The Year award in recognition of his achievements in Eastern Canada. Frank Ross is a well-known New Brunswick prospector and past President of the New Brunswick Prospectors and Developers Association.
About California Project: SLAM's 100% owned California project comprises 192 claims and the adjacent Orlo gold-antimony property comprises 68 claims. Combined they cover 6500 hectares of favourable volcano-sedimentary rocks located approximately 12 km west of the world-class BMS No. 12 mine operated by Xstrata.
Qualifying Statements: Derek F. Brown, P.Geo. and consultant to SLAM is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. Grab samples were collected and sent to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario for multi-element ICP analysis. Samples that detected gold above 10,000 ppb were then tested by fire assay.
It's all happened before and it will all happen again. Might as well profit from it.
